Trump fine with Pence having voted for Iraq war, but blasts Clinton for it

One thing that came out of the “60 Minutes” interview with Mike Pence and The Donald is the hypocrisy of not caring about Pence’s vote for the Iraq war, but not that of Hillary Clinton. He slithered through the questioning of Lesley Stahl.

STAHL: What do you mean you don’t care that he voted for?

TRUMP: It’s a long time ago. And he voted that way and they were also misled. A lot of information was given to people…

STAHL: But you’ve harped on this.

TRUMP: But I was against the war in Iraq from the beginning.

STAHL: Yeah, but you’ve used that vote of Hillary’s that was the same as Governor Pence as the example of her bad judgment.

TRUMP: Many people have, and frankly, I’m one of the few that was right on Iraq…

STAHL: Yeah, but what about he —?

TRUMP: He’s entitled to make a mistake every once in a while.

STAHL: But she’s not? Okay, come on—

TRUMP: But she’s not—

STAHL: She’s not?

TRUMP: No. She’s not.

There is, however, no record of Trump being against the Iraq war, but there is one of him weakly supporting it when questioned by Howard Stern.

    When you are on the same team, you don’t have to worry about “little” mishaps!

    • whatthe46 July 17th, 2016 at 22:27

      when you’re a liar and a narcissist, you have no team.

    NO, Leslie, he was not against the war. You should not have let that slide. Bad journalist

      they are afraid to truly challenge him. otherwise, he wouldn’t come back and they want the ratings more than they want to upset the fk’n crybaby. one thing i can say is that at least she challenged him about his hypocrisy. short lived though it may have been.

        Way too short lived.

    And what about you, Donald? Are you allowed to make “mistakes”?
    Oh I forgot — you don’t make mistakes or errors in judgment. Everyone else simply distorts or misunderstands what you do and say.

    Entitled to make a mistake? By Jan.2017 both of you should figure that out

      Watching the video, it seems they just met for their first date. I think they only spoke long enough to know where and when to meet. They aren’t even in the same library, let alone on the same page.

    I saw the clip, those two definitely do not compliment one another politically or in any other way. I hope their convention fails miserably.

      so far it has.

      Melanija (fake zerman vife ) looked really terrible for the money – really bad make-up and sounded more like an angry vampire when talking.

      about the only thing I could get out of all the baloney hoopla was I’m WHITE and I love you WHITE people in the 50 million + net worth (and even that didn’t come with a smile). The only time her lips even started to fold upwards at the corners was when she was talking about donald being great which I got the feeling was -{you gotta be as big a dumbass as donald says if you’re really falling for this crap}

      other than the liberal bias left wing commie news media raving about how spectacular she was, day 1 was pretty much a waste of time and good food if they had any. not really worth watching.

    Mike Pence looks like a dehydrated version of Newt Gingrich…..

  9. StoneyCurtisll July 18th, 2016 at 12:09

    Mike Pence doesn’t believe in evolution….

    As if the Clinton camp did not have enough material to work with…….

    as an American voter, I allow Hillary to make a few mistakes and still walk with my vote.

    as a veteran, I cannot forgive a 6X COWARD some 48+ years ago who now has the ‘courage’ to become the CIC ?

    and he ain’t gonna be riding into the White House in a huge limo with my vote either.
